I recall getting to touch a large boa constrictor at the zoo. It turns out snakes don't really feel like some primitive part of your brain seems to expect(i.e. cold and slimy) They are just warm and dry, and very muscular. You’ve been busy.

After all, how can one assess a project whose nature was irrevocably altered when the lead actor died? Whatever vision director Terry Gilliam had for this movie perished along with Heath Ledger. It's to Gilliam's credit that he was able to make something out of the mess left in the wake of the Oscar-winner's untimely demise, but perhaps Gilliam would have been better off to simply let go. Perhaps he was haunted by the various disasters that beset his ill-fated attempt to make The Man Who Killed Don Quixote and didn't want to lose another movie to fate, but The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus seems to be what it is: a movie assembled from diverse pieces that don't quite match. It's the cinematic equivalent of a patchwork quilt." http://www.reelviews.net/php_review_template.php?identifier=1933 “If I was a teacher and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus was [sic] a student’s paper, I would give it an ‘incomplete.’ After all, how can one assess a project whose nature was irrevocably altered when the lead actor died?

I bet my boys would love it. I've always lived in Arkansas, so if I ever move it will be somewhere with NO HUMIDITY and cooler summer temps. That museum sounds great. I bet my boys would love it.

They think the red tail is to detract prey, so that if they chomp on the snake, they chomp on the tail instead of the head. Ugh! That sounds rough! LOL, Robin!

I've never been in Tucson in summer, but I've been in Las Vegas desert in summer, and even 120 didn't bother me that much. I have no idea! I'll check, next time. Yeah, there were garden snakes, but no dangerous snakes. This is definitely a new thing! Scorpions, spiders, snakes, gila monsters... yikes! New Mexico is nice.
